Officials believe that an extremely potent opiate may have recently hit the streets and may be  disguised as heroine or fake pills designed to look like real pharmaceuticals and it’s causing respiratory failure instantly.

The Ross County Health District asks anyone who witnesses an overdose to stay with the person and call 911 immediately.
